iron bridge over the wide waters of the
Mississippi. when tall passenger, with
a huge moustaChe and watery eyes look

Stop her.

train should be stopped
Stop her, tell ye. By so doing you
can save the life of one of your passen-
gers beg of you to stop the train"
The conductor, wondering at the cause
of this strange request, hesitated a mo
ment, and then reached for the bell cord.
In few seconds the train came to a
| standstill, when the excited passenger
again inquired
Are you sure we are not IN lowyY
The conductor looked out of the car
window and assured his passenger that
the train was still in Illinois.
Then" replied the man with the big
moustache and waterJ eyes, you have

The ARGUS report of the old settlers
procee dings at the annual picnic Of the
Rock Island association at Brooks grove
yesterday, closed with the historical adj
dress Of Mr. Vim Jackson. Later,
the proposition to extend the year of
eligibility to 1850 was lost, but the mo-
ton that the children of old settlers be
made eligible to membership was adop-
ted; and on motion of John A. Boyer
wives of all members. whether daughters
of old settlers or not, were declared full
members. By this action, membership in
the Old Settlers society is henceforth lin
tied to the families now within its pale.
No family who came to the county later
than 1915 can ever become member,
except by marriage into the family of a
pioneer of As OF earlier. The old settlers
believe that those who came here later
than 1916 came not as pioneers. but TO
enjoy the benefits of civilization already
placed upon its feet by those who came
before them Therefore they prefer to
make future membership in the associa-
ton question of lineage rather than one
of length of time of residence in the
county.

past year, shows the following:
